Résumé en anglais

Restoration of historical monuments after 1945 is based on the acceptance or the rejection of the drama of loss. I identified 4 major periods of restoration in Europe after WWII : 1939-145 (période bellica); 1945-1972 (la période chaude, post-bellica) ; 1973-1989 ("période intermédiaire") ; 1990-2015... "la nouvelle période chaude, ou le patrimoine à l'état gazeux"). In France, as opposed to Germany or Italy, historiography in architecture still does not deal much with the history of restoration post-bellica, ie with historical monuments destroyed during WWII and progressively restored afterwards. The historiographical task at hand is to study within different contexts (Germany, France, Italy, ex-Yugoslavia, etc) the practices of restoration once peace is back, ie the architectural intervention on the ruins produced by war. Although ferments of restoration (for both works of art and architecture) can be identified, in the current sense of the term, as early as the 1930’s, the discipline is going to mature under the impetus of the immense workshop of post-bellica restoration. Methods, techniques and theories, still valid today, are then produced and applied. My suggestion is that such a workshop can be considered as an European lab within which a kind of « invisible college » is at work, centered around a few major international experts (like Cesare Brandi, Paul Philippot, Renato Bonelli, Raymond M. Lemaire, Roberto Pane, Guglielmo de Angelis d'Ossat...). Architects, historians of art, superintendents, archeologists, natural and social scientists share their experiences and points of view.
